Activities undertaken by other legal entities within the wider Redcentric Group, joint ventures, partners, or subcontractors operating independently of Redcentric’s certified management system are excluded unless explicitly stated. Similarly, customer-managed environments or services where Redcentric does not retain operational control are outside the scope of certification.; ISO 9001 certification does not extend to individual products, guarantee specific service performance outcomes, or provide assurance over regulatory, financial, commercial, or information security compliance.
